How do MLB workers protect Latin players from Trump's ICE raids? By themselves. Front office staffers told eyeblack about keeping immigrant players safe while league guidance is minimal and "Manfred kisses Trump's ass."

*new* from me:

As pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training, three front office staffers spoke to me about helping Latino baseball players and their families navigate an America ravaged by ICE raids.

They say guidance from MLB has been “minimal” so their teams are getting creative.

or the criticism that it too closely matched our current world. like where did it say it was supposed to be such a distant and even more evil version of the US? it looks a lot like today and i think that's perfect

One of the best and most important @jamellebouie.net takes yet. Watch to the end. I find his moral clarity and knowledge of history immensely helpful in moments like this.

When I think about this, or events like the destruction of the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, the subsequent roundups of queer people, & book burnings, which went entirely unopposed - and then I see Pride flags and trans rights flags and Mexican and Palestinian flags at every protest, I feel hope.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

they’ve got to arrest and prosecute this guy

there isn’t another option here

if the feds won’t let them then force that confrontation and don’t back down

this guy murdered someone in cold blood on video in the middle of the street, you have to bring him to justice

its reprehensible. its blatantly illegal, reckless to the point of outright depravity, for the government to reflexively defend every outrage committed by its personnel prior to gathering the facts. to spit in the faces of its citizens and blame the people it mows down in the streets. fucked

this sucks. i really hope they turn it around. maybe Mackenzie Scott could help out 😭

i have a soft spot for lilies of the field. sidney is so charming

Chart showing detention population, among those arrested in the interior, by criminal record, May 2019 through present. There are three lines shown. (1) Prior conviction (which rises from around 9,000 in January 2025 to just over 16,000 in November 2025), (2) Pending criminal charges (which rises from around 5,000 to 15,000), and (3) No criminal record (which rises from around 1,000 to 21,000).

NEW: ICE has finally released post-shutdown detention data. The latest data reveals that a full 40%(!) of people arrested in the interior and held in ICE detention have no criminal record; no criminal charges or prior convictions. That is up from just 4% when Trump took office.

Local media is calling it: Katie Wilson will be the next mayor of Seattle.

Wilson ousts Mayor Bruce Harrell after running as a progressive challenger.

Her win is a west coast companion to Mamdani’s as a statement victory for the left.

“If you tilt some of the most commonly cited data points this way or that, you can just as easily argue on the behalf of a woman crisis as a man crisis—or, perhaps most accurately, for an ongoing multidirectional crisis affecting us all.”
